Chapter 3 Chipset Software Installation Utility

3.1 Before you begin

To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers and
utility software, you should read the instructions in this chapter carefully
before you attempt installation. The device drivers for the board are
located on the software installation CD. The auto-run function of the
driver CD will guide and link you to the utilities and device drivers under
a Windows system. The Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility is not
required on any systems running Windows NT 4.0. Updates are provided
via Service Packs from Microsoft*.
Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers need to
have the relevant software application already installed in the system
prior to installing the enhanced display drivers. In addition, many of the
installation procedures assume that you are familiar with both the rele-
vant software applications and operating system commands. Review the
relevant operating system commands and the pertinent sections of your
application software’s user’s manual before performing the installation.

3.2 Introduction

The Intel® Chipset Software Installation (CSI) utility installs to the target
system the Windows INF files that outline to the operating system how
the chipset components will be configured. This is needed for the proper
functioning of the following features:
• Core PCI and ISA PnP services.
• USB 1.1 support (USB 2.0 driver needs to be installed separately)
• Identification of Intel® chipset components in the Device Manager.
Note: The files on the software installation CD are
compressed. Do not attempt to install the driv-
ers by copying the files manually. You must use
the supplied SETUP program to install the driv-
ers.
